The --user option will use HTTP authentication, which very few public
sites actually use. Instead, most use an HTTP form (POST) which sets a
cookie if the authentication is successful. Take a look at
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html for some hints as to how to
proceed.

And note that you sent the mailing list your login and password in your
